Jackass taxi driver
Why is it that when people dare to speak up for their rights they are made to feel they've committed a wrong ? I asked myself this question after having an encounter with a taxi driver this evening. I left work and was too late to catch either the last sailing of the water taxi or the PTSC Coach from Port of Spain to San Fernando so I had no choice but to resort to the conventional taxis. Arrived on the taxi stand and met a ton-load of people and no taxis available. I was joined by a friend and she and I stood there talking for a while until, eventually, a seven-seater taxi pulls up on the stand. Said driver gets out, and as some of them do, said he was not making the return trip right away. He proceeds to gallery himself for a while walking up and down until he indicated that he was ready. Now I should have figured that I would have had some problems with this particular driver because my friend told me she knows him to be one "who does buss style"....
